Con B2 and B2.2: Another example of British humor!

This is starting to be a "joke blog".  PLEASE READ MY LAST POST, which to me is the funniest!!

 I have just received a short funny video clip with Orson Welles...... and it has an option  for sub-titles.**NB. DON'T  do subtitles. They are terrible:often completely wrong.  K 27/11

Glossary:

- salt of the earth (idiom) = used to describe a simple, natural, "authentic" person
- waif = young, homeless person
- to turn away = to tell someone leave or not to let them enter
- high-piched vice = voz aguda
- to dress up = to wear fancy clothes or a costume
 - a streak = a tendency or hidden quality, una vena ( an artistic streak, a jealous streak)

The two men are presumably talking about a friend who has just died (passed away).
Here the humor is not so  much in a punchline as much as it in what they are suggesting about this man, without really saying it  ( I guess becasue of their British indirectness and good manners).
